PSA: Science predates philosophy.

@musestoomuch And despite that it is still worth having them in your life because our precious time on earth is so short.

@musestoomuch This also applies to friendships or platonic loves. Jacques Derrida also describes both loves as preparing for the inevitable fact one of you will outlive the other

it’s finding little ways to incorporate simple sentiments to make their life easier or better

@AStrasser116 Congrats!

I passed my PhD preliminary exam!

@PAHoyeck Look im not reading intros written by non authors. Would rather jump into the material

Apparently this is a hot take, but you haven't actually read a book unless you've read it cover to cover. Skimming select chapters, reading an AI summary of the book, or watching a YouTube video about it do not give you anywhere near the same grasp on the material as reading it.

Not organized but i did downsize

@PAHoyeck H still gets me both Peirce and Dennett? but not Haack since she’s in Florida

@mishapathy Much like ())( is a palindrome but ()() is not

'Love is love' is tautology. 'Love is love is love' is not; as it must be parsed either 'Love is 'love is love'' or ''Love is love' is love'' and now you have a synthetic proposition. (Is love substance or relation!) And don't get me started on 'Love is love is love is love.'

@crocoduck_king Fortunate you made those videos

looking back on it, this is probably the most gloriously unhinged YouTube thumbnail I've ever made

@PAHoyeck Yeah…
